France Nov 18 – 1918

 

Dear Mabel

 

            I am still in the convalescence camp and I do not know when I am going to leave here.  I was examined on Sunday and expected to leave here this morning and join my company.  For some reason or other they are not going to send anybody out of here for a few days.

 

My mouth bothers just as much as ever but the doctor says it will be alright in time.

 

I just returned from a long hike.  We go out on a hike every day and the weather is just right for walking.  I also got my overcoat today so now I am ready for the cold and winter weather.  I have not received any mail in over a week now.  After I leave here it will take some time for it to catch up with me.  I would like to get back to the company again but I am afraid I would not see many of the old fellows as I understand it has nearly all new fellows in it now.  I met a fellow yesterday who said our brigade had been in some tough fight after I left it.

 

I have not heard from Enoch yet although it is quite a while since I wrote him a letter.  I am pretty sure his company was in the big drive because I know his division was.

 

Well Mabel this is all the news I have to write about so I will close with

                                                                       

                                                                        Love to all

                                                                                    Theo
